Gene dysregulation is a hallmark of disease, driving pathogenic phenotypes and poor patient outcomes. RNA binding proteins are often important human gene effectors, controlling RNA synthesis, ...

A new study finds the proteins responsible for controlling which genes are expressed in a genome do more than simply turn a ...

The kinocilium of vestibular hair cells is a unique organelle with molecular features of primary and motile cilia and may serve as an active, force-generating element within the hair bundle.

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

When a salamander loses a leg, it grows back. When a human loses a finger, scar tissue fills the gap. The difference has ...

The fungal-derived meroterpenoid pyripyropene A exhibits significant biological activities, including potent inhibition of acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) and high insecticidal efficacy ...

Spinal translational control mechanisms regulate gene expression and nociceptive circuit sensitization during the chronic phase of neuropathic pain.

What do your genes have to do with growing old? Quite a lot. But is it due to the actual DNA, or the way those genes are expressed? KPBS sci-tech reporter Thomas Fudge has more on new research that ...
